CLIFTON PARK >> Ten residents of the Hollandale Apartment complex in Clifton Park were displaced Sunday after a fire swept through one section of a 12-unit building.

Two of the units were destroyed in the complex at 2 Hollandale Lane. The complex is one of the first built in Clifton Park.

The fire resulted in no loss of life and no injuries to the volunteer firefighters who responded. An early report of two cats being lost in the fire was rescinded after the pets turned up later.

According to Clifton Park-Halfmoon Fire Department First Assistant Fire Chief Mike Horner, the fire was called in as an emergency at 11:30 a.m. Sunday. The department, which is located approximately one mile away, responded with 22 firefighters and three fire trucks.

“When we arrived on the scene, the flames were coming out of the first floor apartment and shooting up the side of the building to the second floor,” Horner said. “We had it knocked down in about an hour and stayed on the scene another hour looking for hot spots.”

Other volunteer fire departments responding to the fire included Jonesville, West Crescent, Halfmoon-Waterford, Hillcrest, and Boght Corners. The Round Lake Fire Department was on standby at the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Fire station during the emergency.

Though the cause of the fire remains under review, Horner said the two end units of the building where the fire started were a total loss.

“The adjacent units have small amounts of smoke damage as well as some ceiling damage where the responders had to go through to check that the fire was not spreading,” Horner said. “If those tenants are displaced I think it’ll only be temporary.”

Officials with the management of the apartment complex on Monday confirmed two units are a total loss and four units have smoke damage. They said 10 residents have been displaced due to the fire.

In a statement the complex management said, “We have made accommodations for all the 10 temporarily and are working to get them back in as soon as possible.”

Gary Ferris, the executive director of the American Red Cross, Adirondack-Saratoga Chapter, said the organization had three volunteers respond to the Clifton Park fire Sunday afternoon.

On Monday afternoon, he said the Red Cross was helping five adults from four apartments and an unknown number from a fifth.

“We offer anyone who has this happen to them a couple of nights in an area hotel and we provide them with a debit card on the scene for food, clothing, and any prescriptions that may have been destroyed in the fire,” Ferris said. “We’ve done that here.”

Ferris said all those displaced by Sunday’s fire had family or friends in the area and did not require the help of the Red Cross for housing Sunday night. However, Ferris said the organization was fielding calls on Monday from some of those tenants and their needs were still being determined.

Horner gave credit to the construction of the Hollandale complex saying a fire wall between the apartments lost to the fire and those with smoke damage prevented the fire from spreading.

“It was horrible say for those folks but it could have been much worse,” Horner said. “That fire wall really helped us out a lot.”
